11/05/07:	Stop We have now filled our calendar until July and so are no longer accepting enquiries. This site will remain here for future use and for nostalgia. Once again, thanks to everyone who has supported us over the last two years!

21/02/07:	Pause We have made the very difficult decision to take a break from Occasional Jazz for six months or so to allow Adam to complete his PhD and for Alex to focus on his new career. Therefore we will not be making any Occasional Jazz commitments later than July 2007 - our two year anniversary. If you would like to make an enquiry for a date before this time, we would love to hear from you - please contact us here. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support over the last 18 months and look forward to deciding on the future of OJ early next year!!
